Watching post apocalyptic monster movies, and zombie movies and such, as well as reading a lot of things online, got me thinking, is there a home recipy for 777? Just thinking of a sugar and potassium nitrate and a little bit of rust, an alternative to black powder that doesn’t require a scorch of supfur?
I know that if you have the time, the hay, and can piss in a bucket, you can get potassium biteate(have only read, have not tried) and charcoal is easy, but soulful, if garden centres are no more, not so much, but sugar is less difficult. I keep bees, so that also has me covered on lube.
Anyway, let’s assume 30 cal bolt action, cast bullets, bees wax and tallow lube, and I figure some solution to primers(chidite can be made with bleach, sodium free salt, and a wax)
What recipes for a primary propellant would be posible?
Just wondering what ideas people have.
For my part I am thinking 303, and it started as black powder, and that is what I have.
